Peter MacDonald

Former Executive Vice President Loan Depot

“The only Irish Catholic ever honored as Mensch of the Year by the Orange County Jewish Community”

Philanthropist at Large

On this episode, Peter MacDonald the former Executive Vice President and General Counsel at Loan Depot gives us the back story on what inspired an average Canadian Irish Catholic and one of ten children to become an integral part of the Orange County Jewish community.  His journey began after finishing college, when Peter left Canada alone to explore southern California and eventually made it to Western State College of Law in Orange County.   We discuss Peter’s improbable casting as 1980’s Canadian “say no to drugs” icon, his foray as a house painter, and his stint as the only Irish Catholic recognized as a “Mensch of the Year” by the Orange County Jewish Federation.  Learn what makes this accomplished philanthropist tick and how he made his dreams of family, career, philanthropy, and beach life come true.
